RILEY2311, No Colouring...Say What!!!!

Hello, I made this for this weeks Riley and Company Challenge RILEY2311. This weeks challenge is hosted by Michele, and she's challenging us to create a card or project with NO colouring! I was a little freaked out about his one, but I did it!

This is Director Riley, he is one of many images recently released under the Riley Goes to the Movies Theme!

I used the die-namics film strip die and backed it with vellum. The images on the vellum were made with the 3pc card back set...obviously not just for card backs anymore! lol

I hope you can join in the fun and create something without colouring. Then upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY2311.

Make sure to stop by the other Design Team Members blogs to see what wonderful colourless creations they've made!

MMTPT169, Teaparty Kong Style!

Hi out there, I made this for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT169! Better late than never! This weeks challenge is all about taking the King out of Kong so he can relax and behave at the Teaparty!

Well it may not be the real King Kong, but Riley as King Kong should work just as well, I know he'll behave! I met some of the requirements, bananas, trees and even some monkey friends who wore hats to the party! lol

The papers are from Daisy D's Bambino pad!

The sentiment is from MFP's Floral Tea set.

Have a Great Day!

RILEY2111, Orange & Black!

Hi everyone, it's time for another fun challenge from the Riley and Company Design Team! This weeks challenge Hostess is Margie, and she's challenging us to use the colours orange and black!

I used the newly released Bridezilla. She's coloured with copics and I added diamond stickles to her dress!

I didn't have enough black brads, so I made my own. The smaller ones on the right side were made with the smallest hole punch on the cropadile. The larger ones on the left were made with the larger hole punch on the cropadile. I glued them in place and then covered them with crystal effects.

I also used last weeks sketch challenge SC354.

RILEY2011, Let's See Some Leaves!

Hello,I just wanted to say thanks to all those who stop by and take the time to leave comments, I really appreciate them, and Congratulations to all the Riley and Company Blog Hop winners!

It's time for a Riley and Company Challenge! Since it is offically fall, well in some countries, I'm challenging you to add a leaf or leaves to your card or project!

This is the new Riley Pottermoose, perfect for all those Harry Potter fans, I have a couple of those in my house!

I coloured Riley Pottermoose with copics, added crystal effects to his glasses and stickles to the stars and swirls left behind from his wand!

The card base is black, with a layer of more mustard and then a layer of glossy white. For the glossy layer, I used a brayer to add soft sky, blue bayou & not quite navy. I also sponged the darker colour around the edges.

The trees were made with a die-namics die, and I sponged the trunks & leaves. I finished it off with some twine and an owl charm!

I've been wanting to play in the new Freshly Made Sketch Challenges, and I finally got a chance, this is for FMS4!

I used the Clapperboard Riley, I thought it would make a great Birthday card, so I left the sign blank so I can add in the age of the Birthday person!

I coloured Riley with copics and sponged around the edge with Tim Holtz antique linen. The tag is popped up, along with the large star.

It didn't seemed balanced, so I added 2 tiny stars on the right hand side.

Riley Sneak Peek Day#4!

Hi all, it's Day #4 of the Riley and Company sneak peeks, and today it's all about the Italian Stallion! I saw the 1st Rocky at the movies with my girlfriend when we were young teens, and loved it of course!

Actually Rocky Balbomoose is perfect for Rocky, Ali, or any boxing fan! I coloured Rocky Balbomoose with copics and used the copic 0.3 liner to create the background.

The stars were made with glittery cardstock and punches. I popped up the middle panel and finished it off with some twine!

Make sure to check out the other Designers Blogs to see what they've created and our Guest Designer this month Gina Lindsay!

Riley Sneak Peek Day#3!

Hello and welcome to Day#3 of the Riley and Company sneak peeks! This is the new Riley as Danny and Sophie as Sandy! Our 2 older girls watched this movie so often on VHS I was sure they were going to wear it out, so we bought them a DVD copy!

For my card today I was inspired by the popular colours of the 50's diners, and records!

I coloured the Riley & Sophie with copics, and cut them out. The card base is black, with a layer of silver. I made the background layer by making records using a 1" circle punch in black and, a circle from the owl punch in red dp, then I used the crop-a-dile to make a hole in the center. I glued all the records to the tempting turquoise and embossed it with a Spots & Dots embossing folder. I thought it had a retro look!

The tile floor was drawn in with a 0.3 copic liner and a black copic. I popped up the characters, and added some tiny heart gems.

This is the inside, the sentiment is from Everyday Sayings and the music notes are from the EK edge punch.

Please make sure to check out the others Designers Blogs, and our Guest Designer this month Gina Lindsay!

Please join us at Riley and Company Thursday September 29th, 10 pm est for the Blog Hop and Release!

Riley Sneak Peek Day#2!

Hello and welcome to Day #2 of the Riley and Company Sneak Peeks! Today I have another Super Hero for you, this is the new Batmoose!

This one took on a life of it's own! I decided to use yellow & black, like the Batman symbol. Then I remember that the TV batman had often been near death caught on a conveyor belt with lots of gears & sharp deadly things about to kill him...so that reminded me of the clockworks EF!

The bats were made with the MS punch. I made up the sentiment online!

This is the inside, I used a sentiment from the Moose Sayings 2 set!

Make sure to check out the other Designers Blogs for more sneak peeks, you can find links on the ridght hand sidebar. We also have Guest Designer Gina Lindsay with us this month!

Then come back and join us on Thursday September 29th, 10pm est for the Riley and Company Release and Blog Hop!
